During an interview on 3/20/24 at 9:05 a.m., CMA E stated she would normally re-order medications once a
resident had about 8-7 doses left of the medication. CMA E stated she recalled Resident #3 did not have
her clonazepam medication for a few days, and could not recall the specific dates when Resident #3 did not
receive her medication. CMA E stated the first day Resident #3 did not receive her clonazepam, she
reported the issue to the nurse on schedule at the time, which was an agency nurse whose name she
could not recall. CMA E stated only a nurse could order the clonazepam and she did not know what was
the cause of the delay in obtaining the medication supply. CMA E stated she notified the ADON and DON
about the issue.
During an interview on 3/20/24 at 10:27 a.m., CMA D stated she usually reordered medication when the
resident had about one week supply left. CMA D stated she recalled Resident #3 did not have her
medication for a little bit and could not recall which specific dates Resident #3 ran out of her medication.
CMA D stated she believed there might have been an issue with Resident #3's insurance. CMA D stated
she mistakenly documented she gave Resident #3's medications on 2/20/24. CMA D confirmed she should
not checking off medications in the MAR as administered when she did not actually administer the
medication.
During an interview on 3/22/24 at 11:15 a.m., the DON stated the staff document medication administration
after the resident received the medication. The DON stated a checkmark on the Medication Administration
Record meant that the medication was given, an x meant the medication was not due, but she was not sure
what 7 meant. The DON stated when the resident did not receive the medication, then the staff must
document the reason. The DON stated if the medication was not given because of an issue with supply, it
should be documented in the electronic medical record. The DON stated she was not aware of any issues
with Resident #3's medications in February 2023. When asked if the facility had a quality assurance
process that ensured accurate documentation of medication administration, the DON stated the facility had
in-services on medication administration and the facility reviewed their 24-hour report.
Record review of a facility policy titled, Administration of Drugs, not dated, revealed the following: should a
drug be withheld, refused, or given other than at the scheduled time, the nurse must note it in the MAR for
that particular drug.
